Apple Notebook Computers

Apple notebook computers have become quite an appealing option for most portable computer users. The technical specifics of these products meet the requirements and satisfy the tastes of large categories of customers. Light weight, good screen size, processor performance level are just a few of the elements that make people buy Apple notebooks.

The history of Apple notebooks begins back in 1989, that is twenty years ago, when the initial models were on the verge of complete failure. First of all, the original model of Apple notebooks – the Macintosh Portable – was incredibly heavy. It weighed around about sixteen pounds, had a 9.8” matrix screen and it looked rather bulky. It came with a pre-installed operating system and was one of the first models ever to offer that.

Despite the normal imperfection, it still provided something that today’s portable computers lack: battery length of up to ten hours before recharge was needed. Yet, it needed as much power when in use as it did when in sleep mode, which again was presented as a disadvantage. The cost of the model at the time of its release ranged around $6,500, it had a processing unit of 16 MHz, 1 MB RAM, 256 KB ROM, and so on. The features, of course, are pretty outdated, most likely someone would have a model of this device only as a collection piece.

On the other hand, there is the latest model of Apple notebooks, the MacBook Pro released in October this year (2008). It utterly surprises with its lightweight and high portability level. The very thin aspect comes from the use of a single piece of carved metal that replaced the several pieces previously used for assembling. These Apple notebooks also offer a 15-inch display which is back-lit by a LED impressing with the brightness that it renders to the user’s eye.

As for what the graphics is concerned, the Apple team claim this is the best possible offer they can come up with for gamers; users can now enjoy the integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9400M processor for every day use or change to the other one, the NVIDIA 9600M GT, with a high speed mode and more precise in terms of graphics coping with the demands of modern game playing. All in all, the new Apple notebooks make quite a breakthrough in terms of many characteristics and this new model is one of the most advantageous choices available for mobile professionals and more.
